The shabby lies of JD Vance and his Amen choir...
What did you expect? He's been lying for his entire career.
JD Vance, formerly Hamel, formerly Bowman, is at it again.
Lying.
He had been pushed out of the news cycle for a bit because his Kremlin slavemaster, former President Donald Trump, had taken up a lot of oxygen in the past week with his own special brand of BS, what with his accusations about his assassination attempt, Springfield pet consumption, and tariffs. I am sure I have left a few out. Lots of moving parts.
Vance doubled down on his lies, saying, almost incredibly, but not, that “the American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” Vance sputtered in an interview on CNN with Dana Bash.
Vance asserted, falsely, that the Springfield Haitians eating pets comes from “firsthand accounts from my constituents. I say that we’re creating a story, meaning we’re creating the American media focusing on it. I didn’t create 20,000 illegal migrants coming into Springfield thanks to Kamala Harris’ policies. Her policies did that. But yes, we created the actual focus that allowed the American media to talk about this story and the suffering caused by Kamala Harris’ policies.”
Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine, who endorsed Vance in 2022 and therefore has some pet blood on his hands, noted that “let me tell you what we do know, though. What we know is that the Haitians who are in Springfield are legal…They came to Springfield to work.”
Please note that Haitians are black. Surprise. We can’t have black people here doing these black jobs, of course.
Apparently there was a missing cat in Springfield. But the cat came back, as cats do, and it wasn’t surrounded by potatoes and veggies.
CNN wrote that “The city hall in Springfield was forced to close due to a bomb threat on Thursday. Two elementary schools were evacuated Friday ‘based on information received from the Springfield Police Division,’ the Springfield City School District announced. Two local hospitals were also forced into lockdown due to bomb threats Saturday, according to statements sent to CNN.”
Oh.
Violent rhetoric at play, perhaps?
That violent rhetoric that you guys are proclaiming anywhere within microphone range caused the two assassination attempts against Trump?
Vance also contributed to general mayhem even further this week when he said that “There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals, these hospitals, the bomb threats and so forth.”
Oh, again.
“The Springfield mayor, he’s dealing with a lot of terrible things. I certainly sympathize with the guy, and we’re going to try to help him out. But he did not accuse me of inciting a bomb threat. He just didn’t,” Vance parried.
How, precisely, are you trying to help him out? By continuing the lies? Hmm.
“All that I’ve done is surface the complaints of my constituents, people who are suffering because of Kamala Harris’ policies. Are we not allowed to talk about these problems because some psychopaths are threatening violence?”
Some psychopaths get lit up by this kind of violent rhetoric, pal. Note to file.
And you guys are still doing it, against your own advice.
“I know it’s popular on a lot of corners of the left to say that we have a both sides problem. And I’m not going to say we’re always perfect. I’m not going to say that conservatives always get things exactly right. But you know, the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that we have — no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months, and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months,” Vance opined at the Georgia Faith & Freedom Coalition dinner.
“I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric, and needs to cut this crap out,” Vance said.
But you white bros can keep spewing this stuff with impunity?
Huh. Interesting. And if someone, God forbid, kills Harris or Walz, can the left then say, hey, it was violent rhetoric? Or was it just your brand of happy talk?
In President Joe Biden’s most violent rhetoric, here’s the deal.
Trump, Vance, and even Addams Family-creepy former First Lady Melanija Knavs Trump, mother of an anchor baby (OMG) and member of a chain-migration family (double OMG) have spread this bull with an utter disregard for the truth. The truth is that these would-be assassins are really right out of the Obvious Nutjob Assassin Profile. They’re Oswalds with a better rifle.
Plus, if the Deep State really wanted to get Trump, they would. And they didn’t.
As for the Secret Service, who has 32 protectees, many of whom are the Trump progeny punks, please note that they blew Thomas Crooks’ head off they second they finally figured out what was happening, and the oh-so-incompetent SS saw a rifle barrel sticking out of the bushes on the too-exposed golf course.
Not sure what more they could have done. I will certainly admit that the Butler attempt was truly a screw-up, and a man was killed because of it. The Secret Service director stepped down days after.
But hey.
It’s a conspiracy.
Right?
Here’s the real conspiracy.
The Trump (Crime Family) Organization © gets to put this stuff out there without consequence. If a private citizen like yourself had made these types of assertions, you would be sitting at a wooden table with a cold cup of coffee fielding some tough questions about where, precisely, you got this information.
But JD Vance and his enablers and puppeteers (Musk and his Silicon Valley South African White Supremacist Handlers) get to posit lie after lie.
Returning to Springfield for the gala Pet Bar-B-Q, if Gov. Walz had made similar assertions, he’d be pilloried and forced off the ticket. Democrats actually care about these sorts of things, and hold people accountable. Also please note that dozens upon dozens of major conservative Republican influencers in what once was the Normal Republican Party have endorsed Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz for precisely these sorts of reasons.
Can you imagine the joy © Dick Cheney had to muster to do that?
Vance, who hasn’t run anything larger than a U.S. Senate staff, might note that flat-out lying might not work as an administrative strategy.
I once asked a really good GOP friend (now a Never Trumper but also a Never Biden or Harriser) 25 years ago what the Republican Party was going for. Note, again, this was a quarter century ago.
“What do you guys want? A Roman Catholic police state?”
I don’t recall his response, but I can assure you that they’re going for far, far more than that now.
Recent polling suggests it’s more unlikely than not that they’re going to realize their real dream: 1933.
No lie.
As for JD Vance, pass the crow.
You’re going to eat every bite.
I teach Math at the University of South Carolina Aiken. I'm originally from Ohio (Columbus), and one of my departmental colleagues is from Springfield. Talking with her yesterday, she said kids are having a hard time - especially at her old high school - and mental health providers are stretched to the limit. Vance continues to double down. He should be charged with domestic terrorism.
Tying Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds together with black feather's all over J.e.D.'s beard, and the whole thing starts to make sense!!
